Mark Jackson, you're really telling me you couldn't use Bazemore? He's been showing some nice things from day 1 since arriving in LA. I fail to believe he couldn't be doing the same thing for the Warriors instead of that black hole Jordan Crawford.

sounds ironic but the stage seemed too big for blazemore in GSW...there's no pressure for him in LA with that carousel of a backcourt they're currently playing with.

The other thing that is amazing is that folks saying Bron can't shoot and all he does is drive and go to the line. Is jumper has been on point lately and is 3 pointers

There's no pressure for anyone on LAL this season. It's one big try out for contracts next season.

Jordan Crawford isn't a point guard either.

Stage too big? Jackson never let him play to prove that. There's no pressure in LA but he's still showing the scoring punch he showed all throughout Summer League. Of course he wouldn't be putting up 20 point games but there's no reason he couldn't be putting up 10 point games with regularity. Especially with the other scorers on that team.

i had a feeling baze was gonna shine in dantoni's system
just go out there and play and not worry about being yanked if you make a mistake. still dont know why he was running backup pg duties in GS

I agree. Said it a few pages back but because Jackson never played him, I did not know he was that capable of an offensive player. I've seen him in the summer league but I didn't pay much mind to it.

But man he's been pretty impressive in LAl. He actually has some ability. Can shoot it a bit, really long and athletic, and can play with the basketball a bit. Interesting to see what happens with him going forward.

Curry loses yet another 3 point shootout

I'm saying...can't even get the ball. LMA, you are taking yourself out of the best PF conversation with this kind of stuff.

 

[Peep Game]

Has Austin Rivers boarded his plane to Barcelona yet?

 

[alphawolf]

This Lakers/Blazer game is dope.

 

[CP1708]

The season opener had Wes defending Blake, who couldn't do anything to him.

To be fair....

 

[captainjackson]

[Vincent Van Goat]

Phony just gonna keep Brooks in like he deserves to be in the game

 

[akajae]

[do work son]
